Under p\u00e5g\u00e5ende pollens\u00e4song \u00e4r det inte helt l\u00e4tt att veta om man \u00e4r pollenallergisk eller bara f\u00f6rkyld.<\/p>\n

N\u00e4r n\u00e5gon nyser och sn\u00f6rvlar p\u00e5 jobbet h\u00e5ller sig m\u00e5nga p\u00e5 avst\u00e5nd p\u00e5 grund av smittorisken. Men inte s\u00e4llan beror f\u00f6rkylningssymptomen p\u00e5 n\u00e5got helt annat \u2013 n\u00e4mligen allergi. L\u00e5t oss reda ut skillnaderna!<\/span><\/p>\n

Vad \u00e4r f\u00f6rkylning?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

F\u00f6rkylning beror p\u00e5 en infektion i de \u00f6vre luftv\u00e4garna. N\u00e4r kroppens immunf\u00f6rsvar reagerar p\u00e5 viruset sv\u00e4ller b\u00e5de blodk\u00e4rlen i n\u00e4san och slemhinnorna i hals och svalg. Detta g\u00f6r att vi blir t\u00e4ppta i n\u00e4san, k\u00e4nner oss gr\u00f6tiga i halsen och att kroppen producerar mer slem och v\u00e4tska \u00e4n vanligt. Det finns \u00f6ver 200 virus som forskare f\u00f6rknippar med f\u00f6rkylning. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013\u2002F\u00f6rkylningsviruset \u00e4r lite lurigt och kan smitta redan innan smittob\u00e4raren vet om att denne b\u00e4r p\u00e5 viruset. Det \u00e4r vanligt att viruset sprids via luften alternativt via direktkontakt med f\u00f6rem\u00e5l som b\u00e4r p\u00e5 smittan. <\/span><\/p>\n

Smittorisken \u00e4r som st\u00f6rst i det inledande skedet av insjuknandet och minskar sedan allt eftersom tiden g\u00e5r. Det finns inget botemedel mot en f\u00f6rkylning, men apoteken erbjuder lindrande produkter. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013\u2002En bra indikator p\u00e5 att f\u00f6rkylningen h\u00e5ller p\u00e5 att sl\u00e4ppa \u00e4r n\u00e4r snuvan g\u00e5r fr\u00e5n tunn och genomskinlig till tjockare och mer tr\u00f6gflytande. Efter att viruset l\u00e4mnat kroppen \u00e4r det inte ovanligt att k\u00e4nna sig lite matt och man b\u00f6r undvika kraftig anstr\u00e4ngning i n\u00e5gra dagar efter, avslutar Falk-Brynhildsen.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Vad \u00e4r allergi?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Normalt \u00e4r att immunsystemet skyddar mot och bek\u00e4mpar virus som inte h\u00f6r hemma i kroppen \u2013 som vid en f\u00f6rkylning. Skillnaden vid en allergi \u00e4r att systemet hamnat i obalans och s\u00e4tter ig\u00e5ng f\u00f6rsvarsmekanismer mot helt ofarliga \u00e4mnen. Symptomen \u00e4r dock identiska med de symptom som ocks\u00e5 uppst\u00e5r vid en f\u00f6rkylning \u2013 rinnande \u00f6gon, expanderade blodk\u00e4rl och svullna slemhinnor. <\/span><\/p>\n

S\u00e5 hur vet man om snuvan beror p\u00e5 en allergi? Nyckelordet \u00e4r tid. En f\u00f6rkylning avtar med tiden medan en allergi inte g\u00f6r det s\u00e5 l\u00e4nge du inte helt undviker all kontakt med det du \u00e4r allergisk mot. Ett annat tecken p\u00e5 att kliandet och nysandet beror p\u00e5 en allergi \u00e4r att snuvan \u00e4r mer vattnig \u00e4n vid en f\u00f6rkylning och att det kliar ordentligt i \u00f6gonen, n\u00e5got som \u00e4r relativt ovanligt vid ett vanligt f\u00f6rkylningsvirus.<\/span><\/p>\n

Idag drabbas allt fler m\u00e4nniskor av allergier i vuxen \u00e5lder. Marc McMorris vid University of Michigan har forskat i vad det kan bero p\u00e5 och uttalade sig nyligen i tidningen Chicago Tribune.
\u2013\u2002\u00d6ver hela v\u00e4rlden har allergier mot olika \u00e4mnen i princip f\u00f6rdubblats de senaste 20 \u00e5ren. En stor f\u00f6rklaring till detta kan vara v\u00e5r besatthet av hygien. Vi uts\u00e4tts f\u00f6r allt mindre bakterier och virus s\u00e5 v\u00e5ra immunsystem har i brist p\u00e5 annat b\u00f6rjat bek\u00e4mpa saker som damm, pollen eller katter ist\u00e4llet. Andra anledningar kan vara f\u00f6r t\u00e4ta hus d\u00e4r allergenerna blir mer koncentrerade och att m\u00e5nga idag skyddar sina barn mot vissa typer av mat och f\u00f6rhindrar att en tolerans byggs upp.<\/span><\/p>\n
